Silent Electric Cars a Danger to the Blind

July 25, 2008 by Craig

The actual article is full of common-sense reasoning, but it was this part that caused me to post:

And while the zero-emission cars, are a big hit with environmentalists, the Canadian Federation of the Blind says the cars are a hazard for those who can’t see.

“For us, they are invisible,” Mary Ellen Gabias, the federation’s vice-president, told CBC News this week.

Think about that statement for a second.
